Mobrey Squing 2

Vibrating fork point level measurement

Squing 2 vibrating fork level switch

Squing 2 is a liquid point level switch designed using the tuning fork principle. The Squing 2 continuously monitors
changes in its vibrating forks natural resonant frequency. When the Squing 2 is used as a low alarm, the liquid in
the vessel drains down past the fork resulting in a change of its frequency; this is detected by the electronics which
switches the output state. When used as a high alarm, the liquid rises in the vessel, contacts with the forks and again
the output switches.

Short Fork Technology

Using short fork technology pioneered by Mobrey and many years of
application experience, the Squing 2 is designed for use in virtually
all applications. Extensive research has maximised the operational
effectiveness of the fork design while keeping in mind the practical
consideration of a level switch that is suitable for most liquids, including
coatings, aerated liquids, and slurries.
Special features
Squing 2 has a status indicating heart-beat LED which can be seen at all
times through a lens in the cover. The LED will flash (once per second)
when the Squing 2 is off and will be constantly lit when the Squing 2 is
on. The LED gives an indication that the Squing 2 is functioning correctly
and gives a local visual indication of the state of the wetside.
A mode switch allows the Squing 2 to be set to switch from wet to dry
(typically low alarm) or from dry to wet (typically high alarm). You may
also select a time delay from 0.3, 1, 3, 10, or 30 seconds.

A magnetic test point on the side of the housing allows the user to
perform a functional test of the Squing 2. By touching a magnet on the
target the Squing 2 output will change state for as long as the magnet is
present.

Applications
Overfill protection
Spillage caused by overfilling can be hazardous to the environment and
people, resulting in lost product and incurring costs of clean up operations.
Squing 2 is a failsafe limit level switch with built-in highly visible heartbeat
LED to reassure you that it is always ready to detect and signal overfill at
any time.
Provided as standard, the magnetic test point on the unit allows for
simple on-site functional test providing re-assurance of operation without
removing the unit from your tank.

Manual test facility
Heartbeat LED

Limit detection
Often batch processing tanks contain stirrers/agitators to ensure the
mixing and product fluidity. With the standard user selectable time
delay from 0.3 to 30 seconds, there is no chance of false switching due
to splashing caused by stirrers/agitators.
A choice from a range of different electronics provides the benefit of
trouble-free integration into your existing system especially as existing
wiring can be utilised.

Pipe installation (pump protection)

Short forks for minimum intrusion wetside allows simple low cost
installation at any angle into your pipes or vessels. With the forks
projecting in only 69mm, the Squing 2 can be installed in small
diameter pipes. By selecting the option of direct load switching
electronics, Squing 2 is ideal for reliable pump control and can be used
to protect against pump dry running.
With a range of housings types rated IP66/67 the Squing 2 can be
installed in almost any environment.

High and low level alarm

Maximum and minimum detection in tanks containing many types
of liquid is measured using Squing 2. The robust Squing 2 operates
continuously at temperatures up to 150C and operating pressure
to 100 bar g making it perfect for use as a high or low level alarm.
Available with industry standard flanges to ANSI and BS standards
from stock, or other international standards to order and with forks
constructed in various materials such as stainless steel, Alloy C (UNS
N10002), or with ECTFE (Halar)/PFA coatings.

Hygienic applications
With the option of highly polished forks with a surface finish (Ra)
better than 0.8m, the Squing 2 meets the principle design criteria
of 3A and EHEDG for equipment used in the manufacture of hygienic
applications like food, beverage, and pharmaceutical. Manufactured
in stainless steel the Squing 2 is robust enough to withstand steam
cleaning (CIP) routines at temperatures up to 150C.
Working in viscous liquids and liquids with high solids content, the
Squing 2 will ignore low/medium density foams and aeration.

Technical specification
Electronics
Standard two core cable with any power supply from 24 to 260V ac (24 to 60V dc) is
used to connect Squing 2 in series with the load and achieve direct load switching. The
output acts as a simple SPST switch that changes with liquid presence. Alternatively use
the switching function of the SPCO relay electronics output. Squing 2 also has the option
of electronics to be interfaced directly to a PLC using the PNP transistor output model
(three-wire).
Intrinsically Safe (IS) Squing 2 to ATEX EExia approval interfaces directly with standard
NAMUR (DIN 19234, IEC 60947-5-6) isolation amplifiers.
SIL2 Certification
The Intrinsically Safe version of the Squing 2 has been assessed and rated SIL2 for use as a
Type B safety related subsystem in accordance with IEC61508, when configured as a high
level alarm only in conjunction with a Namur barrier.
